A Sign of…What?
October 20th, 2005 by natalie
At one point, I recall hearing someone say that absent-mindedness is a sign of genius. I hope that’s true. If it is, then you should consider yourself privileged to be reading the writings of a genius!
As I drove out to my weekly Bible study tonight, I managed to forget how to get there. I’ve been attending now for about a year, with a break for the summer. But somehow, that file in my brain must have gotten deleted. At one point I thought I had driven too far, so I turned around and started back in the direction from which I had come. Shortly thereafter I realized that it must have been further down the road than I thought. So I turned again and continued in the original direction. After several more wrong turns and back roads, I did manage to stumble upon the house where the Bible study was being held. Thankfully, I remembered with clarity how to get home once the study was over!
I don’t particularly think of myself as being directionally-challenged. But I don’t know how to explain away such odd predicaments in which I find myself more often than I care to admit. Absent-mindedness? Lack of observation skills? Poor memory retention? All of the above? Come to think of it, a friend of mine gave me a program on a CD a while back that’s suppose to help you increase your memory retention. But I can’t remember where I put it…
